Thursday, December 14, 2006. God's Gracious Address to Us. And came across this creative passage, reflecting God's gracious address to humanity in Jesus Christ. It brought me to tears. I shall quote below (please excuse the masculine language, a poor translation of the German):. We might imagine the conversation to which [the address of God to humanity] gives rise and some of the forms which it necessarily takes. You do not know, namely, that you are this man in spite of what you think.". And if only I c...

Wednesday, July 18, 2007. We finally are situated in our new home, which consequently means I finally have my office set up and a place to (sort of) call my own.

Friday, April 27, 2007. After perusing my little blog here yesterday, Amy mentioned that people probably think she has somehow dropped out of the picture (pun intended) since all the pictures on this thing are of Soren and me. So, I decided to be kind and post a picture of Amy and Soren. Posted by Erik @ 5:53 AM. Thursday, April 26, 2007. Spiritual Disciplines for Infants? Who says babies can't be spiritually disciplined?

Thursday, October 19, 2006. Al Mohler and Biblical Authority. There is much good here as well - but there is also a nagging question. What access to Jesus and the apostles do we have apart from Scripture? The "apostolic witness to Christ" is found in the New Testament - not outside of it. Where else could it be found? Furthermore, Jesus does not merely prepare for "the new" - He is the new. What I find nagging is Mohler's own position, that Jesus Christ is himself the new. New what? I realize I haven't p...

Confessions of A Recovering P.K.: July 2012
http://coarpk.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Confessions of A Recovering P.K. I am a husband, father, learner, pastor, musician, and movie enthusiast. Thursday, July 26, 2012. The Benefit of the Doubt. I'm fairly willing to admit my faults and weaknesses. It's not always easy, but when they're pointed out to me or if I notice them myself, it's unwise to pretend that they don't exist. One of my big faults is taking myself too seriously sometimes. Another one is the difficulty that I have with giving people the benefit of the doubt. He's a middle chi...

Conversely, when overwhelmed by destruction, it shouldn't give me reason to say, "Wow! God must really hate me." This kind of theology is destructive. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Confessions of A Recovering P.K.: March 2013

Confessions of A Recovering P.K. I am a husband, father, learner, pastor, musician, and movie enthusiast. Friday, March 29, 2013. In a leadership class I took for my Master's of Divinity degree, we used a book entitled "Leadership: Theory and Practice" by Peter Northouse. Based upon its price on Amazon, I would guess that it's a typical textbook for business classes, describing varying approaches and models of leadership. One of the chapters towards the end of the book is all about women and leadership.

Today is the last day of this miniseries on lessons from an amusement park. I suspect that there might be some out there who have read this week and considered that I may just be turning into a grumpy old man. Trust me, I’ve thought the same thing on more than one occasion over the last few weeks. Amusement parks are similar in tha...

Confessions of A Recovering P.K. I am a husband, father, learner, pastor, musician, and movie enthusiast. Friday, October 4, 2013. The government of the United States has shut down, and the world is still turning. In fact, although the government has shut down, the ones who have caused this shutdown are still being paid. Finger pointing is happening on a minute by minute basis between conservatives and liberals, Democrats and Republicans. I am not a very political guy. My lackadaisical approach towards p...
